Bouncing back from last week’s 3-2 slip-up against Manchester United, Arsenal silenced Elland Road with a dominant 4-0 victory on Saturday.
The win effectively steadied the ship after their lead at the summit had briefly dwindled to four points.Building on their midweek European success against Kairat Almaty, Mikel Arteta’s side looked sharp from the off.
Martin Zubimendi broke the deadlock with a deft header via a Noni Madueke delivery, before an unfortunate Karl Darlow own goal doubled the advantage before the interval.
Second-half strikes from Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Magalhaes sealed the rout, restoring Arsenal’s seven-point lead ahead of Manchester City’s high-stakes clash at Tottenham
